Publication number: 20230120618Abstract: Injection monitoring circuitry is provided for coupling to part of an injection device having a syringe and a plunger rod. The injection monitoring circuitry has an input to receive force measurement data from a force sensor, the force measurement data includes a plurality of timestamped force measurements of force applied by a user to the injection device when an injection is administered to an injection site. Processing circuitry is provided to determine from the force measurement data when an end of injection has been reached, the end of injection corresponding to the plunger rod having reached an end position in a distal portion of the barrel of the syringe during administration of the injection by the user. Machine readable instructions and an injection monitoring method are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Douglas O'ROURKE, Alan SANDERS, Joseph Peter CORRIGAN, James RILEY, Christopher CLARKE

Publication number: 20220401653Abstract: An injection device is described. The injection device includes a stopper having a first conductive element, a barrel having a medicament reservoir sealed at a proximal end with the stopper, and a plunger rod having a second conductive element. The plunger rod is coupled with the stopper to cause forward axial movement of the stopper to expel a medicament from the medicament reservoir. The first conductive element and the second conductive element complete an electrical circuit when the plunger rod is coupled to the stopper.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Christopher John Clarke, Joseph Peter Corrigan

Patent number: 11490841Abstract: A catheter and associated method for taking a plurality of samples from within a length of a blood vessel. The catheter includes an elongate central body arranged to be inserted into and positioned along a central region of a blood vessel. A plurality of collection areas are defined along the elongate central body for collecting samples at the central region of the blood vessel. A plurality of mixers are provided radially outwardly of the elongate central body and arranged to create a flow of blood from a boundary layer at a wall of the blood vessel to the elongate central body. This enables the collection areas to collect samples from the boundary layer.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2019Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: PLAQUETEC LTD.Inventors: Stephen Blatcher, Richard Harley Grenville Owen, Joseph Peter Corrigan, Thomas Neudeck, Andrew Peter Scudamore, Yannick Pierre Louis Hourmand

Patent number: 11433185Abstract: An injection device including a barrel having a medicament reservoir therein capable of fluid communication with a needle assembly at a distal end thereof and sealed at a proximal end thereof with a stopper. The injection device further includes a plunger rod having a distal rod end which is couplable with said stopper, wherein, when the plunger rod is coupled to the stopper, forward axial movement of the plunger rod causes forward axial movement of the stopper coupled thereto into the medicament reservoir in order to expel medicament through the needle assembly. Further, the plunger rod can be decoupled from the stopper by applying a rearward axial force on the plunger rod, said rearward axial decoupling force being less than a rearward axial force required to move the stopper rearwardly with respect to the barrel.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: NORTON HEALTHCARE LIMITEDInventors: Christopher John Clarke, Joseph Peter Corrigan

Patent number: 9757520Abstract: An injection device 110 is described having a housing 112 that receives a syringe 114 having a needle 118, wherein the syringe is supported in a syringe carrier 150. The syringe 114 and syringe carrier 150 are biased by a return spring 126 from an extended position in which the needle 118 extends from the housing 112 through an exit aperture 128 to a retracted position in which it does not. A drive spring 130 acts via a drive to advance the syringe 114 from its retracted position to its extended position and discharge its contents through the needle 118 and a return spring 126, brought into play when the drive has reached a nominal return position, restores the syringe 114 to its retracted position. The syringe carrier 150 is designed to restrict rearward movement of the syringe so that the injection device is less prone to failure and damage to is components than prior art devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2007Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Cilag gmBh InternationalInventor: Joseph Peter Corrigan

Patent number: 9072833Abstract: An injection device 110 is described having a housing 112 that receives a syringe 114 having a needle 118, wherein the syringe is supported in a syringe carrier 150. The injection device 110 has a removable cap 190. The syringe 114 and syringe carrier 150 are biased by a return spring 126 from an extended position in which the needle 118 extends from the housing 112 through an exit aperture 128 to a retracted position in which it does not. The syringe carrier 150 abuts a surface inside the removable cap 190 which prevents forward movement of the syringe carrier 150 when the cap is in place. The injection device is less prone to failure than prior art devices and is safer should failure occur.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2007Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: Cilag GMBH InternationalInventors: Douglas Ivan Jennings, Joseph Peter Corrigan, Timothy Donald Barrow-Williams, Matthew James Brady
